Operation Unified Protector, the fight against the Libyan regime of Khadaffi, yield at Souda (Crete) a nice mix of French Mirage 2000s, including 2000-5Fs, 2000D and 2000NK2 as well as Qatarese 2000EDA/DDAs. Here 2000-5F serial 68 is leading a small flightline. The aircraft was written off with code 116-ER on 3 October 2012. The delta of Luxeuil crashed near the village of Froideconche (near its homebase) with a Taiwanese pilot in the cockpit. He died on the scene.
